On Sunday we attended a living shoreline planting in St. Michaels Maryland. It was a tribute to my nephew Kennedy Michael Fitzgerald who perished in a house fire almost two years ago. In addition to the plantings, monies were donated to the CBF from a fundraiser Clara did on behalf of her sister Maggie who also perished in the fire. It was a memorable day for all! The last photo was taken on the property where Matthew and Peggy use to live. The believe sign sits where their house use to be.
